Thank you for this post, I keep forgetting to come here and ask about this. It sticks out to me every time I fly the A36.

@FrecciaKing Just to be clear, it's not in "reverse" with the power lever at idle. It's at ground idle. In flight, the power lever will be locked out of the beta range unless you have the "unrestricted beta range" option enabled on the tablet's options page. There are three ranges: The normal (flight) range down to "flight idle". The beta (ground) range down to "ground idle". The reverse range. I don't have any specific FSUIPC scripts to achieve what you're looking for (everyone wants something slightly different), but I know there are a lot of FSUIPC scripting experts on the forum. Hopefully one of them will see this post and provide the help where I lack expertise!

@Black-Square Is the three-press functionality correct, as opposed to the two-press?

And of course, thank you thank you thank you to Nick at Black Square. Hands down my favorite product for Msfs!!!

It may have been because I also had the analog version installed. I have removed it and things work much better.

@Black-Square, no, I have a Bravo but all buttons are unmapped because all buttons and switches are managed by Stream Deck. I've double checked it anyway.

You can find almost all of the hardware inputs in the "Hardware Inputs & Outputs" section of the manual. For the autopilot, you will find the standard native bindings under the "Instrument Events" heading: K:AP_PANEL_HEADING_HOLD K:AP_NAV1_HOLD K:AP_APR_HOLD K:AP_BC_HOLD K:AP_ALT_HOLD

That's it. Thank you so much!

I'll try some of the others. I'm using the pms50 gtn750

Ok thanks i'll Look

I’m not sure just how accurate the simbrief figures are. What I’d probably recommend is trying to determine your fuel requirements by using the figures in the manual (pages 167-8 for turboprop variant) which shows estimated fuel to climb and cruise PPH. You can use SimBrief for the routing, winds, ISA, and estimated time/groundspeed (if they have the right airspeed figures) and plug those numbers into the charts from the manual to predict fuel requirements. For example if climbing to 9000ft at ISA you’d need just under 5 gallons and then about 33 gallons per hour after that. If simbrief shows a 2.5 hour flight then you’d want about 90 gallons (about 600lb rounded up) before adding your reserve. The turboprop variant consumes a HUGE amount of fuel compared to the piston variant so it’s very easy to run out early. Sorry, I can’t say I’ve tried simbrief for the B36 yet so I’m not sure how close or far off the figures are.

Nick? Anyone? I feel silly even asking but I would think there would be some indications of a fire.

Here is Rob's mod.. it seems to refer to the G36 model, so confused at to how that would conflict.. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/vz8qm9ya1c9nr6raz0a5m/AKsFJ1WfeOLuotNtPYdckhM?rlkey=2kjgy1vms12p1i4f63bsysq97&st=g8y645p9&dl=0

This is my single greatest pain point with MSFS 2024. For the Baron and Bonanza, I went from having to create, maintain, and export 10 models for the user aircraft in MSFS 2020 to 90 models for MSFS 2024. Unfortunately, from a user perspective, even individual parts of the aircraft (like the landing gear, as you note) are automatically culled, regardless of the LOD model. Even objects in the cockpit will be removed if you zoom out too far, like while using a VR headset. I imagine these changes were designed to promote better performance on console. I'm very sorry that your ability to create videos with my aircraft has been diminished. I think that it's a major regression myself too. Now, I haven't tried this... and I suspect it will still cull the small objects... but it's worth a shot. If you enable developer mode and navigate to the Options -> Debug Model LOD menu, you will find options like, "freeze LOD selection" that could give you more crisp models for your videos. Let me know how that works for you. Do you have any videos you might want to share? I've always been into film, so flight simulation videos combine two of my favorite hobbies

Thanks again for your time. When I get back into flight sim myself I’ll definitely be picking up one of your planes! Cheers

Corrected link to the simvar: https://docs.flightsimulator.com/msfs2024/html/6_Programming_APIs/SimVars/Aircraft_SimVars/Aircraft_Fuel_Variables.htm?rhpgno=3#FUEL%20TANK%20SELECTOR

my link doesn't load for me, either. this one works... https://docs.flightsimulator.com/msfs2024/html/6_Programming_APIs/SimVars/Aircraft_SimVars/Aircraft_RadioNavigation_Variables.htm?rhpgno=3#TRANSPONDER_STATE Looks like MS just has transponder state defined twice, once as a simvar in general and again for its use in a flight definitions file. They both say the same thing. I set all of mine to 4 in the .FLT files so that my external hardware agrees with what's in the sim.
